Create an avant-garde selfie or a modernist marketing campaign with FREE geometric clip art that pays tribute to the Bauhaus design school.
Established more than a century ago, the Bauhaus remains one of the most influential movements on design today. The alternative art school, which was founded by architect Walter Gropius in Weimar, Germany in 1919, changed the face of modern design forever. We can still see the influence of the Bauhaus on architecture, furniture and graphic design, with students of the school aspiring to narrow the gap between the arts and industry, making good design accessible for all.

Step 1
Go to Shutterstock Create and choose Instagram Post from the blank canvas options.
First up, let’s bring some texture into the background of our Bauhaus selfie. Go to Images and search for “white paper background.” Choose one of the texture images, and click to drop it onto the canvas.
Let’s build up geometric graphics on our design, before we bring in our selfie. Go to Graphics > Add your own graphic.
Navigate to the folder of PNG images in your free download, and select one of the simple yellow line graphics.
Place a couple of these graphics to the top-left corner.
Upload more graphics to use on your design, then crop the large red circle in half by clicking on Crop layer.
Experiment with more graphics at the bottom-left and top-right corners, cropping graphics to suit if necessary.
Step 2
Go to Graphics > Add your own graphic, as before. This time, choose your selfie photo. Place the image roughly in the center of the canvas.
Click on Remove background.
With the photo selected, click on Edit image in the top controls panel. Then click on Filters > Black and White to switch the image to monochrome.
If you have an awkward cut-off point to your image, embrace it! Use another geometric graphic to give it a framed edge.
Step 3
The static version of your design is complete, but we can make it even more fun with some animation.
Select one of the graphics, then click on Animate at the top of the workspace. For these yellow graphics I’ve opted for a Drop animation effect.
Experiment with different animation effects for different graphics, such as a Rotate effect for a circular element.
I want this blue bar to slide in from the right side, to highlight the photo, so I choose a Slide effect. Click on the Play button at the bottom of the workspace to preview your animation effects as you go.
When you’ve finished animating your design, you can click on the red Download button at top-right. Choose MP4 video or GIF for an animated version of your design.
And there we have it, an animated selfie ready to impress your followers!
